Somebody farm me these items on Shattered Hands and I pay you golds... ^^

Comment by chillyman

Just finished a round against these mobsters. Fairly easy to take down as they rely on melee attacks but watch out for big pulls because healing won't be easy with the -75% healing debuff. Oh yeah, entrance is from north only so don't waste your time looking for another...

According to the official Warcraft Atlas, this mob is rated as a Average Rare with a respawn timer of ~21-32 hours.

this guy is worth hitting up. i used to have a level 5 parked out there just to check on him wayyy back in the day. 29 twinks would pay good gold for either of the two items he drops, and he drops one of those two every time.

He is not immune to movement impair or slow. As a lvl 29 Shaman I just Frost Shocked him and kited around my totems. As a rare, he runs very fast and hits very hard, around 300 on 1k armor.

The Howling Vale has been populated by lvl 23 Withered and Crazed Ancients, so unless Blizzard moved him, it looks like he no longer exists :(

I just killed him on 12/12/10 on the side of the new volcano.. He's unreachable without a flying mount so it's likely an oversight that he spawned at all.

Found him at 53,37 as of patch 4.1 he was up on as hill at the top of a patch in the howling veil

Now the last of the Terrowulf. The last we heard of the Terrowulf was Velinde Starsong ordering them to stay around here at the Howling Vale. They were still there pre-Cataclysm.

It's possible that when Velinde died/lost the Scythe/whatever actually happened to her the Terrowulf were released from her final command and wandered off to... somewhere. Or that they were killed off by someone (possibly the player character although the old quest chain didn't get you to do that as I recall).

But maybe they and the whole Velinde side of the original Worgen story got retconned with Cataclysm. With the new lore, a night elf doing some routine demon cleanup in Felwood summoning Worgen half a world away from Gilneas/Silverpine is kind of an unnecessary addendum to the main storyline, maybe Blizzard just removed it. I kind of hope not due to my fond memories of the original lore and (fragmentary though it was) quest chain. Apparently Velinde's ghost can still be summoned in Darkshire but that may just be Blizzard overlooking that little patch of dirt.

One of the few remaining mobs that still uses the original worgen appearance.

Say what you will of the revamped player models, I still have a fondness for these Vanilla ones. They have so much more ferocity and a distinct mood that the new ones lack. Duskwood especially feels diminished without the eerie terror of the old worgen. The new ones, while detailed, don't have the same atmosphere to me.

He is indeed reachable by foot. As you stand on the main road at the point where the path leads off to the cave, look ahead of you. There are some broken pillars on the ground. The path into the cave curves to the left around the bend of a hill.

You can also see a faint path curving off to the right of the jumbled pillars, leading to a ramp which then bends off to the left, in the same direction as the cave path. At the base of the ramp are a Ghostpaw Alpha and a Withered Ancient wandering around. Follow this ramp which is clear of trees and quite wide; you aren't looking for some hidden path here, it is rather obvious once you are on it. At the top there is a small flat area where the Packlord sits surrounded by 3 Ghostpaw Alphas.

The Packlord (now leader of a pack of Ghostpaw Alphas) has moved yet again. As you are heading on the road south to Felwood, past the original path to The Howling Veil, there is a new path (just past the dotted lines on the Ashenvale map). Take this path up and he is sitting on a hill, with three Ghostpaws (lvl 23-24) in triangle formation around him. 53.1, 37.6 are the exact map coordinates. Visited the area with three different characters over the course of a week and he was there each time. And yes, he is still skinned as one of the original WoW Worgen.

FYI, just got confirmation from a Blizzard customer service rep today (1/26/2014) that this guy also drops the Ruffled Chaplet. It's the only headdress of that skin that comes in that color now, since the other identical quest item was removed from the game. The Ruffled Chaplet doesn't show up on his loot table.

EDIT: Wowpedia.org lists him as a rare with a respawn rate of 21-32 hours....I killed him last night and I just killed him again and that was only about 19.5 hours. So far as I know, there were no other respawns between then and now. Sooo, either the numbers are off, or they have changed this guy's respawn rate. I will be camping him for a long while until I get what I want, so I'll be keeping track. I'll add more info as soon as I know more.

EDIT: Just killed him again roughly 1.5 hours later. Uh...I don't really know what's going on, but this is weird. I'm wondering now if there was an across the board change to rare respawn rates. It seems to me that I see more of them now than before. I will do some research and see if he respawns in another couple of hours.
